Oh yeah... Shanghai on National Day
With all the talk of National Day, we may have completely forgotten to mention how Shanghai celebrated it. Here's a good reason - it was rainy and gross. We stayed indoors most of the time, glued to the television screen and its vision of a sunny, beautiful fall day in Beijing.
We might have been too wimpy for the weather, but Shanghai Daily tells us that many Shanghainese refused to have their patriotism dampened:
While the heavy rain that soaked the city the entire day put a stop to some celebration events, it didn't seem to spoil the holiday mood and patriotic enthusiasm evident at the activities that did take place.Shanghai finally got a bit of luck when the rain stopped just before separate fireworks shows lit the skies in Zhabei, Xuhui, Yangpu, Minhang, Baoshan, Songjiang and Qingpu districts at 8pm.
